WAGES
The parties recognize that the federal government is currently examining the regulations concerning FICA exemptions for certain academic student employees. In the event any of the benefits contained within this Agreement have the effect of losing the exemption for ASEs, the parties will meet to discuss alternatives.
UNION RIGHTS
The University will investigate whether there are any grants that would prohibit an ASE from being paid as an ASE while performing steward duties. In the event a determination is made that such a prohibition exists, both parties will bargain in good faith to find an alternative that allows the same level of steward representation. In the event an agreement can not be reached, the matter shall be resolved by an arbitrator.
WORKERS COMPENSATION
The University and the UAW hereby agree that all job titles in the bargaining unit shall be covered by worker’s compensation insurance with the exception of employees in stipend-only job classifications.
JOB TITLES AND CLASSIFICATIONS
The parties agree to review existing graduate-level job titles/classifications for the purpose of clarifying eligibility and ensuring automatic progression through the classification steps and improving the efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy of the classification system. This review shall begin no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Agreement.
